We have been trying to develop a project using efabless carvel, and tried to generate a layout using KLayout application as per the instructions given in enables documentation. And we are unable to generate the layout due to the following errors shown in the picture. Could you help us out with the error.

Is this

klayout

specific or related to all gui? Can you run

xeyes

? If it’s related to all gui, you might try installing klayout manually outside the docker.

If you are on linux, you have to run openlane container with Xorg relevant directories as volumes, somethink like

docker run -it --rm \
	-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro \
	--net=host \
	-e DISPLAY \
	-e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR \
	-e PULSE_SERVER \
    <OPENLANE/IMAGE> bash

Or something like this, I'm not sure how to do it specifically on openlane.

xeyes did work but outside the docker session.

Did @aquiles viza advice help?

I tried but it did not work.

The script i've shared should be edited, it can't be used as it is. The

<OPENLANE/IMAGE>

part is an indication to replace with correct value, which is the openlane docker image tag. I'm not sure if openlane is intented to be used with graphical user interface capabilities. Maybe using iic-osic-tools would be better? I totally agree that openlane should have a "graphical" mode, I just don't know.
